A good friend of mine sent his child to Waterbury, his son going in was not the best boy and needed some direction and I don’t think there’s a better place he could have gone to in order to turn him around this boy completely changed and is an amazing boy and is now in a top yeshiva in eretz Yisroel and from my understanding it is not uncommon for boys to change for the better there, it happens on a daily basis and Waterbury produces happy bnei Torah with a deep connection to hashem that lasts forever. If you want your nephew to be a happy teenager that will be growing and developing send him to Waterbury.
